After the completion of M & A, enterprises usually make use of the evaluation of M&A synergy to examine how much corporate value will be increased after M&A. Literatures referred to the M & A synergy can be divided into three parts, operation synergy, market synergy and financial synergy. In recent years, literatures began to discuss the technical synergy. This study focused on how GlobalWafers in semiconductor silicon wafer industry assess its M & A synergies through a series of M &A. We hope the study can be used as a reference for other company who like evaluate the synergy of M & A.
